A. Training/tuition reimbursement: in most technical fields, an employee must spend a certain amount of time every year just to keep up with the changes in technology. A company that ignores this fact is not a good place to work. Some companies also encourage employees to learn new technical and managerial skills. Typically, an employer will pay for a Master's degree, reimbursing 100% of tuition for an A grade, 75% for a B, etc. Some companies give the employee certain time and money to be used for training at her discretion. This benefit may be taxable if the coursework is not related to your current field.

Tuition reimbursement at the company's discretion means that when the time comes for you to be reimbursed, the company may refuse to pay since it has no guarantee that you won't leave the company soon. (This is a faulty argument: you should be reimbursed because you're working for the company now.) Some companies ask you to refund the tuition if you leave within a certain time after being reimbursed for it.

Subsidized company cafeterias are common. Some employers allow dinners to be ordered from the outside after a certain time and billed to the company.

Other common perks include subsidized exercise clubs, child day care, travel agencies, and parking reimbursement. To comply with the Clean Air Act, some companies reimburse employees for travelling by public transportation (up to $720/year). Companies often allow employees to purchase their own products at deep discounts; e.g., a personal computer manufacturer might sell its own computers to employees at dealer's price; a retail chain might sell certain merchandise to employees at cost.
